Last spring, while shopping in the gardening supply section of a 
local farm supply store, I noticed an animal repellent for gardeners. 
It was a liquid for applying directly to plants and around the 
perimeter of a garden.  I don't remember the percentage listed on the 
label, but capsaicin was the only active ingredient listed.  There 
were pictures of rabbits and deer on the label, and the instructions 
did claim to repel deer.  It also cost $26 a gallon, so you could 
probably make your own for less.
